About the dispair felt by Junior Advocates who fail to become a judge even after several Judicial Exams.

Standard

1) During law college years, they had dream of getting job in corporate law firm… 

2) When they didn’t get job in law firm, they sat down to become a Judge by passing Judicial Exam.

3) When they failed in that too, they had no option but to start their own law practice.

4) Now they began to notice that those who were dull and less intelligent then them, were making already good in legal profession.

5) Now they began to feel as if they were drop out.

In these phases, they sufferred lots of anxieties, sleepless nights, deep depression and they also noticed how anxiety and depression affects a person’s brain, health and his world view.

Life however, is bound to survive against all the odds…

Nani Palkhiwala wanted to become a professor, He failed in interview. He was rejected. He started learning law and then later he joined legal practice and then he made it to top.

So for them too, there are hopes.

Grappling with obstacles as a first generation lawyer – A simple mind mapping method with pen and paper.

Standard

Grappling with obstacles as a first generation lawyer – A simple mind mapping method with pen and paper.

I remember to have used this mind mapping method for many days and months during 1982 to 1986 when I was practicing in District Court.

I would take a blank sheet of paper and would draw a small circle with pen. In the middle of circle, I would write H. That would represent me. Then around this circle, I would draw different circles and in each circle I would write one of the obstacles which I could see. For example lack of background, language problem, geographical disadvantage, financial difficulties, etc.

Then I would look at the paper and would wonder “What can I still do? What are my options?”

Then I would write down options which I could see. For example, “I can increase my knowledge”, “I can make more friends”, “I can try to earn respects of Seniors in Bar” ….. Etc.

This would start me on one of the options. I would throw away this paper and next day, I would repeat this exercise on another sheet of paper and so on.
